Saving our Species Framework

Threatened species have different conservation needs depending on:

• their ecology, habitat and distribution
• threats to their survival
• how much we know about them.

Management streams

What we know about each threatened species allows us to allocate them to one of 9 management streams:

• site-managed species
• landscape-managed species
• iconic species
• threatened ecological communities
• data-deficient species
• threatened populations of a species
• key threatening processes
• partnership species
• keep watch species.

We can move species from one stream to another as their situation changes and we discover more about them.
